Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks Volume 7

Another day, another blog tour! It’s a busy week around these parts. So last summer or fall (I can’t remember, to be honest) I decided it would be fun to submit an original block to Quiltmaker’s newest edition of their 100 Blocks magazine.

Well, Volume 7 hits newsstands next week and I am excited to have my block in the issue!

My block is called All Roads Lead Home and you can find it on page 68 I went with something a little more modern for my block. I think it’s pretty nice on it’s own but…

I REALLY like it as part of a complete quilt. I need to make one of these quilts out of real, live fabric now!

This issue is full of quilty-inspiration. A huge variety of blocks in all different styles by some very creative people. Quiltmaker Magazine is giving away a copy of this latest volume. If you’d like the chance to win one, just leave a comment on this post. Giveaway closes on Monday, May 6, at midnight MST. A winner will be randomly selected and notified. GIVEAWAY CLOSED.

I am completely new to sewing and quilting (read: haven&#39;t made the first one yet, but doing LOTS of research). I would LOVE to win this magazine. It would definitely be a great &quot;jumping off&quot; point.

I just fell in love with your quilt. This is so pretty and will look so lovely on my bed. A copy of QM 100 Blocks, Volume 7 would sure come in handy. There are so many gorgeous blocks that I want to make, yours included. Thank you for being a part of this tour and giving me a chance to win.<br /><br />Sandi Timmons

The block is wonderful! I love the aqua and gray with the white background. I&#39;m anxious to see a print in as part of the block, too. It amazed me to see blocks come together for the secondary pattern to pop.

Love your block! This would work perfectly for the &#39;I Spy&#39; quilt I&#39;m collecting fabric for. Hmmm. Is also a perfect pattern for a &#39;Family Album&#39; quilt with lots of printed photos. You&#39;ve inspired me!! Thanks so much for the block and the chance to win.

Love your comment about making a quilt out of real live fabric! I spend so much time playing in Electric Quilt, I have to make special trips to my stash room to see what real live fabric looks and feels like! LOL

I really like this block! I&#39;ve been looking for a block/quilt pattern to highlight some favorite fabrics. I&#39;d been considering a square in a square, but I may go with your block instead; the lattice-work look is really striking.

I have to admit I wasn&#39;t crazy about the block on its own, but wow, do a bunch of them and I love it. I guess I just don&#39;t have the vision to see one block and imagine a whole quilt. I&#39;m glad you provided the visual.

I really like the quilt. It is very suitable for a man or boy&#39;s quilt, which is rare. Using a fussy cut center with a theme or a plaid and it will be loved by the guy in your life.<br />congrats on the published block!

well this is a fun block that could be so much fun combined with others, or also itself like you showed an example of….I love the secondary designs that show up when blocks are set together. I need to do more of that.<br />congrats on the magazine and it<br />it&#39;s been so nice to stop by again!

I am enjoying this blog tour so much. Not getting as much quilting done, but lots of inspiration. When I saw your block I thought it was interesting, but when I saw the block in your quilt design, my first thought was of argyle socks or sweaters. It&#39;s got such a modern vibe and think it would be stunning in the golds and greys shown. Might have to put it on my list of TO-DO&#39;s. Thanks

Love this block! Not only does it have the best name ever!!!, but it really looks complicated when you look at the quilt layout. If I whip this up in jif, hubby will be impressed. Dont tell him how easy it is. Adding it so my summer quilting list! Congrats on the block and being in the issue!

What a striking block and love the name you gave it! Looks beautiful made into a quilt.<br /><br />Thank you and Quiltmaker for a super giveaway and a chance to win.<br /><br />usairdoll(at)gmail(dot)com
